Beck, an older werewolf who has been an adoptive father to Sam, has grown old enough that he is now permanently a wolf. Because the weather is warming up, however, the werewolves are shifting back into human form. Grace has also become friends with Isabel, whose brother was also a werewolf, but who died attempting the same cure as Sam. As Linger begins, Grace Brisbane and Sam Roth-who was cured of lycanthropy in Shiver-are in a romantic relationship.
There is a rift in the werewolf community, as well, overgrowing the pack by forcing humans to become werewolves or seeking a cure for the virus. As a werewolf ages, the temperature change required for the shift becomes more dramatic, with some older werewolves unable to assume human form at all. In the universe of the Mercy Falls books, a virus makes people into werewolves whose transformations are controlled by temperature and the weather, with the werewolves being in human form in the summer months and wolf form when it turns cold. A sequel to Shiver, it is followed by the direct sequel, Forever, and the stand-alone fourth book, Sinner. Linger (2010) is the second novel in the young adult paranormal romance The Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater.
